NUIT Increases E-mail Defense System Security
Posted Date: 01 Jul 2009
Effective Date: 01 Jul 2009
Northwestern University Information Technology (NUIT) has increased the level of security within the University's E-mail Defense System ( EDS ) – the system that scans and filters junk e-mail, phishing attempts, viruses, and malicious high-risk attachments sent to the University community – to better ensure a safe computing environment.
Additional junk e-mail filtering will occur when e-mail originating from the University's central mail servers (casbah, hecky, lulu, and merle) is sent to a non-Northwestern affiliated e-mail address.
Impact on End User |
The decrease in the amount of incoming junk e-mail provides faculty, staff, and students with increased computer security and allows for easier e-mail management.
Users can access EDS to manage user-specific sender lists and configure various junk e-mail filtering options.
